2:00 pm
the news starts right now. gunfire and a crash shut down part of the famous las vegas strip. three people were killed and three more injured in what looked like a scene from a movie. it started before dawn with a drive-by shooting not far from the most famous casinos. bally's and the bellagio. someone in a black range recovery sailed through the intersection and slammed into five cars including a taxy that burst into flame. the cab's driver and passenger were killed. the suv got away. >> the vehicle description is black in color and has large black rims on it and sort of a dealer plate. not a nevada dealer plate, but from a car dealer lot. >> they don't know how that shooting got started.
2:01 pm
>> a twist in the case of oscar pistorius, the olympian charged with the valentine's day murder of his girlfriend. the officer leading the investigation has been replaced. the detective was taken off the case. why? he was facing his own charges of attempted murder. he caused a stir when he admitted that he could not rule out pistorius's versions of events. he said he shot his girlfriend in the bathroom of his home when he mistook her for an intruder and they said the lay out of the bathroom and the bedroom conflicts with his story. pistorius is spending another night behind bars as the bail hearing enters a fourth day. listen to what his half brother said about the hearing today. >> i don't have any absolutely terrible vengeful feelings. i'm not wishing bad things on anyone else. if i were to detach myself from the situation which i suppose i
2:02 pm
can't do, under the circumstances, i would think it would be rather strange if someone who clearly did something like this were to get bail. >> joining us now from portland, oregon is ann bremer. ann, pistorius's lawyer said the case collapsed. tell us about the chief investigating officer's own murder changes and how this really could impact the overall case. >> i don't know if it's collapsed, but it's taken a real hit. it's a bombshell. this lead detective who was responsible for the investigation was on the stand testifying on behalf of the request for bail by the prosecution and now charged or arrested for seven counts of attempted murder. it's not like manslaughter, it's attempted murder. the message if you shoot the messenger, the message is disbelieved. that's why the lawyer for
2:03 pm
pistorius is saying this was a collapse. it under mines that. >> one of the lead attorneys did something else. that was very detailed affidavit by pistorius written of course by the attorneys. revealed publicly in your view, it was very clever or smart or getting ready and what is getting publicized or incriminating. >> it's too much, too soon. it's incriminating. there others to testify and what we are hearing already, even though there no contradictions, he testified in the account including the angle of the bullets and including the distance he had to go and the fact that there were screams during the shooting and he kept doing that. that was an argument for an hour before.
2:04 pm
these are all things that oscar denied. when he came out too soon, it can hurt you if the evidence doesn't bear out what you say. witnesses can and do lie, but evidence never lies. >> the legal system is very different there in south africa as is played out here. south africa doesn't use juries. if there is a trial for pistorius, what would it look like? >> it's going to be a bench trial. a judge with a couple of magistrates. no jury or no death penalty. when you look at the lead detective charged with murder, remember the amanda knox case, the lead detective was charged with abuse of office and convicted and sentenced during the amanda knox trial and appeal. grown that will be a parallel play in this case, but it could be. it will not be the o.j. simpson trial because of the circus atmosphere we will see with the jury, but it's the crime of the
2:05 pm
century du jour. >> really worldwide. >> exactly. as it is right now. it's just a bail hearing. >> with this hearing that continues, if no bond or if bond, how do you read either scenario? >> well, this is such a different standard on bail versus bail versus conviction or acquittal. if he is bound over right now, that doesn't bode well. it's a judicial determination like the trial will be. just because there may be sympathy and bombshells against the prosecution, that plays differently with the jury than with the judge. that's why we demand juries in criminal cases. there is a far greater chance of acquittal with casey anthony and o.j. simpson with juries. >> ann bremner, good to see you. >> my pleasure. >> there is a lot of danger in the heartland today on the
2:06 pm
roads. take a look. this is interstate 25 in kansas city, missouri. this was shot late this morning by ted rowlands and crew. their flight to chicago was canceled and they tried to make it right here and slow going. treacherous. st. louis right there as of this afternoon. flights in and out are few and far between. >> we have 82 arrivals canceled. most of those are after 1:30 to 2:00. about 20 states are affected. snow to the north and ice in the middle and heavy rain and violent storms to the south. parts of kansas are seeing a foot or more of snow with more on the way.

2:08 pm
tank in the first place. she was last seen on surveillance right here on january 31st, behaving as if somebody might be after her looking like she is hiding. five people were killed when a corporate jet crashed while landing a small airport near augusta, georgia. the plane overshot the runway and crashed in a wooded area and the pilot and one passenger survived and were rushed to the hospital. it is plane was on a flight from nashville and started a brush fire that knocked out power for thousands of people living nearby. >> a quick check on the markets. the dow jones average, 13,840, down 87 points. we will have a closer look at the markets. a child in a wheelchair is left in tears at the airport.

2:13 pm
disneyworld. her outraged mother shot this video with her cell phone and the security worker objected saying it was illegal to videotape the procedures. here's the apology saying they regret inaccurate guidance was provided during the screening and offers the apology. we maintain the security of the traveling public and strive to treat all with dignity and respect. while no pat-down was performed, we will address specific concerns with our workforce. renee is joining us live from washington. renee, what does the girl's father have to say about all this? >> fredricka, as you can imagine, this father is upset about the tsa put his throw-year-old daughter through. it was the first family vacation, but because of the tsa, the vacation got off to an awful start. this 3-year-old's mom did catch
2:14 pm
it on camera. you saw a little bit of that. we know this child is wheelchair-bound and not able to walk through the detectors herself. her dad said that tsa agents at lambert airport took away her stuffed animal and pulled the child aside saying the child needed to be patted down. the family didn't know the rules about pat-downs, but this father said he felt it was unreasonable. >> if it's to the point where it's acceptable to pat-down 3-year-old girls in a wheelchair, just so everybody feels better, i don't know that that's worth it. >> i don't know wheelchair bound people expect to be treated. is that unusual what took place
2:15 pm
or is that common place? >> we had that same question. here's what they tell us. if you are an adult and in a wheelchair, it is quite possible that you will have to endure a pat-down if you are unable to walk through on your own, bhu it comes to children, they did tell us that no child under the age of 12 should be patted down in general. they say they have a lot of other options for parents and a pat-down for children 12 and under really is a last resort. this family didn't know the rules, but their gut feeling told them this is not right and it turns out they are right. the child was not supposed to get that pat-down because she was only 3 and you saw there the tsa is issuing an apology. >> thank you so much for bringing that to us. when it comes to the economy, does wal-mart know something the rest of us don't?

2:20 pm
finally the delay in tax refund checks going out. congress was trying to decide which tax cuts to keep and which would go. that delay kept that disposable income to places like wal-mart. all of those hitting shoppers harder and that took income out of their pockets that would have gone to wal-mart. fredricka? >> meantime, how is the stock market reacting? >> looking overall, wal-mart is up more than 2%. the different story with the dow down, it seems like yesterday we were talking about that elusive record for the dow. doesn't look like we will hit that today or any time soon. they started yesterday when the federal reserve indicated minutes from last month. it may be looking to pull back the stimulus that propped up the market. a weak report weighing on stocks

2:33 pm
but when i started losing energy and became moody... that's when i had an honest conversation with my doctor. we discussed all the symptoms... then he gave me some blood tests. showed it was low t. that's it. it was a number -- not just me. [ male announcer ] today, men with low t have androgel 1.62% (testosterone gel). the #1 prescribed topical testosterone replacement therapy, increases testosterone when used daily. women and children should avoid contact with application sites. discontinue androgel and call your doctor if you see unexpected signs of early puberty in a child, or signs in a woman, which may include changes in body hair or a large increase in acne, possibly due to accidental exposure. men with breast cancer or who have or might have prostate cancer, and women who are or may become pregnant or are breastfeeding, should not use androgel. serious side effects include worsening of an enlarged prostate, possible increased risk of prostate cancer, lower sperm count, swelling of ankles, feet, or body, enlarged or painful breasts, problems breathing during sleep, and blood clots in the legs. tell your doctor about your medical conditions

2:35 pm
rights that everyone has. former secretary of state colin powell, laura bush not happy about her a parns. she wants the group behind the ad to remove her and the group has done so. they have changed the ads, taken her out and anyway, about the power that one has to be included or excluded from an ad, especially when they are a person on the public stage. it comes as the u.s. supreme court prepares to tackle same-sex marriage this spring. let's bring in the panel. the editorial project director, good to see you. >> good to see you too. >> lloyd webber, good to see you too. jacob, host of huff post live. the author and psychologist,
2:36 pm
this is interesting. this group acted fast to take laura bush out of the ad, but let's talk about how one, especially on the public stage is able to say take me out of it after your comments have been broadcast and made public. do you still have the power of how the image is being used? >> especially if you are the former first lady of the united states. about to make a judgment on the issue. laura bush is on the right side of history and any number of conservatives came out with the editorial and david cameron will serve to the prime minister, because he is conservative, yes, she got her rights. >> i wonder, once you are a public person, don't you abandon a certain sense of your privacy?
2:37 pm
it doesn't mean that part of your image or comments become public property. >> it should be something that ak wiesses, even though it's the first lady. >> that's the decision for them, but if you are a public figure, you have to choose your words carefully. her wanting to be removed from the ad is not because they don't stand by the position, but she wants to be more deliberate. they wanted to have more power with the affiliation. >> both republicans, supporting same-sex marriage. is this a platform in which the party is trying very hard to reform itself. they might want to embrace. >> fredricka, any time dick cheney is more progressive, that's a big problem for the republican party. as she was very much limited in
2:38 pm
what the republicans need right now for moderate women, the fact that she was on "larry king live" passionately and pathetically speaking about marriage equality, colin powell and the world, that's not a good look. >> in your view, laura bush needs to explain herself? >> that's, this is on the right side. it's funny and strange that she didn't want to be in the ad expecting. >> maybe she changed her point of view? >> i don't think so. i suppose. she was outspoken. i give them props for that.
2:39 pm
this is confusing to me. >> there is more. up next, could it be the end of anonymity. we take on the proposal to out all websites commenters.
2:40 pm
2:41 pm
2:42 pm
>> this next story i will make the trolls and spammers of the internet shake in fear. is proposing a bill that will require website commenters to reveal their full identities. illinois state senator silverstein introduced the internet removal act that has a website administrator shall remove comments posted on his or her website by a poster unless the poster agrees to attach his or her name and confirms that his or her ip address and legal name are accurate. let's bring back the panel.
2:43 pm
it is in your view. is it a good idea or a bad idea. >> every single day, people comment making pseudohim ins anonymously. the foundation that has done an incredible job protecting our freedoms, whether it's on paper and whether it's near them, and the legislator people and they can't post online. people will say disgusting things. it's okay to comment anonymously. >> you see it as a first amendment right. you saw the problems and here's
2:44 pm
as a psychology a thing that would concern me. so many people get so much support and so much help and so much information because they are able to feel safe and free because they are anonymous. that's terrifying. >> it's empowering for people to get a lot of information. >> patrick? >> i call it the curse the catfish now that it's shown what the people look like. i think that makes people want to remain more anonymous than they are. a write a column and i get a lot of nasty comments. >> they are trying to limit talk? >> hate talk. mean stuff. >> the hateful stuff using their
2:45 pm
real name. >> i think it's a pun. the dark side of the internet. at the end of the day, this is america. americans are very protective. they are allegedly going to be going off the spy patrols and elections. $3 million against them. that's a very unamerican thing to do. >> very good. so half full. >> also just the idea that there needs to be consequences for the kinds of things that in real white they have bullying. there needs to be consequences. >> everybody knows who you are, how and why will you suffer the consequences? >> exactly. >> there was the hbo show true blood. there was vicious attacks on the
2:46 pm
african-americans on the show. also with the hunger games, there were vicious attacks on the african-american who was a part of the film. many people wrote about the hateful comments on the other sites. >> jacob, you think your material especially on your show would be different. maybe it would be too sanitized if it would be the restriction imposed. the vail of secrecy that i suppose you are saying that allows people to speak their mind or be creative about their thoughts. >> it gives a lot of people the confidence to speak out on something they wouldn't normally speak out on on the program.
2:47 pm
if we made everybody use their real names, they have a community that was as vibrant. they like the protection of being able to do it without their real name. >> most people are good and most comments are not hateful and terrible. i think it would be a bad idea to limit that. >> we hear good stuff all the time. is that what you are saying? >> most of the stuff is not so terrible. >> okay, guys. up next for the panel, buckle up. will history be made in the nfl. a woman is part of the team or a team. we will hear from her, next. hey. they're coming. yeah. british. later. sorry. ok...four words...black monkey? a baboon? hot stew saturday!? ronny: hey jimmy, how happy are folks who save hundreds of

2:51 pm
no real football experience did speak to the nfl network about the odds of making a team. panch pan. >> i realize it may not be this year, but i have my technique that will be in attendance. it will be from now to the tryouts. i am starting to nail the 60s. >> the what? >> the second yarders. >> so is everybody okay with this? history being made. a woman going out for the nfl. certainly it would make history. women on board with this? >> i don't know that this is something for the first time. i find that interesting and i think it's great. i'm so grateful whoever that expert person interviewing her
2:52 pm
was, didn't know what 60 meant either. i had no idea what the heck they were talking about. >> how do you see this? >> i have no idea about this nfl thing either. i am a feminist and i still cry when i see that. from daytona and they were doing that thing last week. i think this belies common sense. with president obama going out there saying he wouldn't let a son play in the nfl, i'm not sure. >> you see that there is a lot at stake here. >> exactly. >> all right, guys. as the dudes on the panel here, football is associated with aggression and the manly man thing and the locker room talk and all that, you see women fitting in.
2:53 pm
>> i'm stunned that the nfl has not done anything about it. a lot of money to be made off of this kicker. >> jacob, is it an issue of opening the gates and the women can go after the nfl or is it an issue of really being an outstanding female athlete? she hasn't played football and soccer, but being an outstanding female athlete and being able to play with the guys. >> great that the nfl opened this opportunity for women to try it. first of all, she is probably a far better football player than i will ever be. it's because of the fact that i am a guy, i will have a chance to play the rules to get into a tryout. it's inspiring. realistically, who knows. we will see from my sisters around the country, they want to be active in sports.
2:54 pm
>> you see this opening of the floodgates that is inspiring and a lot of young girls or changing the views of many people? >> i think it's cool. i don't know about trying out for football, but it goes a certain distance. it's not about gender. it's about performance and the same thing we are talking about with women in combat. it's not about your reproductive system, but what you can do. i'm in an all women's book club and we have husbands who know how to read books, and i like my book club to stay. >> and patrick? >> it's great about being the most athletic person to come out of mit. >> patrick and paula, webber and

2:58 pm
>>. >> welcome become. this is a pretty brutal winter triple threat under way. the explanation on all of this. >> here's the triple threat. very heavy snowfall. we can deal with it. it doesn't help if you are trying to get on the roads or the airplanes, but if you are watching out as far as the interstates go and driving, that is where the big hazard has been. in northern sections accident back in 2009, they had a major ice storm. it broke trees. it also weakened them.
2:59 pm
it's just enough to tip them over. this is a water they were e vapor in here. what does that mean? we are not seeing the wrap around as far as that moisture is concerned. if we saw that, we might see heavier snowfall and thunderstorm problems. we could see a snowfall. the computer models are hedging between 12 and 18 inches around this central missouri region. that's the area that will be the bull's-eye. >> thanks so much, karen. >> the hunt is on for the black suv involved in a shooting and fiery crash that shut down part of the las vegas strip.
3:00 pm

intense cross-examination today in the jodi arias trial. she is the woman who admits shooting her boyfriend, travis alexander in self defense. but she said he doesn't remember stabbing him 27 times. juan martinez hammered away at arias concerning her claim that alexander the boyfriend broke her finger and kicked her in the ribs. martinez questioned why she never wrote about it in her journal. listen to martinez grill arias. >> in your journal it was meant to be private, right? >> yes. >> that's what it said. i guess it's a good thing nobody else reads this. i write that i love travis
3:21 pm
victor alexander so completely i don't know any other way to be. >> yes. >> the reason why you confronted mr. alexander was not because he owed you an explanation. the reason you confronted him in august of 2007 was because you were in love with him and didn't want to let him go, right? >> objection. >> that's not right. but i was in love with him. >> is there any other intervening date between january 20th of 2008 where we started and the very end where you put ja. is there any other date? >> that they -- >> yes or no. take a look at the first page. it starts sunday january 20, 2008, doesn't it? >> i guess. >> defense attorney joey jackson is on the case.
3:22 pm
how do you think this line of questioning is working for the prosecution? seems aggressive, but seems awfully cool and unshaken. >> he's going to make a lot of progress. this is a person, the defendant who has so many memories of everything. remembers every detail and yesterday when she was testifying, she lapses on the memory as it relates to the murder. what he is doing now is impeachment. what does it mean? it means i am going to show that you are lying and misrepresenting the truth. all of a sudden you mentioned that he broke your finger and you mentioned all these things. he was involved with little boys? you have a journal where you can document and report things. nobody else will see it but you and there is nothing in there about it. what does that tell you, ladies and gentlemen of the jury? that's what he issing us. >> the story about the finger, trying to underscore that there have been inconsistencies and
3:23 pm
her story has changed. is this an effective approach to convince the jurors that she is say liar and not telling the truth? >> he has a reputation of being a pit bull. some of ussure calmer and more an vated. he's a pit bull. that's his approach. with regard to the finger, the pictures was irrelevant. she held it up and this happened because he a tooked and kicked me. the picture after that, her photo in that picture and finger looked just fine. you figure it out. did she lie about him breaking her finger when she showed you? you see a picture of a congress after that event and nothing seems to be wrong it. all those inconsistencies and the cross examination for the jury to see. >> what's potentially next?
3:24 pm
>> if it ever ends, they will continue the cross-examination. so many things he left to cross examine her on. she made many inconsistencies and first she was there and then she was. now it's self defense. she represented about people she has known and the representing she had. after this, you will have expert witnesses from the defense explaining her lapse of memory. they will say i would suspect that she doesn't have memories of the event. she has post traumatic stress disorder. it was so psychologically damaging, it's a matter of being difficult. it's normal not to have memories. you can suspect and know that the state and the rebuttal case will come in to say no, believe us, not them. it's left to common sense.
3:25 pm
what do you think, ladies and gentlemen? who is telling the truth. them or us? not her. >> some folks are very riveting. thank you. >> a new study said up to 1/3 of all the fish you buy is not what you think it is. being labeled and sold as the good stuff. they are calling it fish fraud. what to lock out for.

a bizarre twist in the case of oscar pistorius. >> the officer who was leading the investigation is now taken off the case. he is facing his own charges of attempted murder. no decision was reached on whether he will be released on bail. they told vnn about the woman he is accused of murdering.
3:29 pm
>> reva was exceptional. i heard in the media what an amazing person she was, but she really was. from an early age, there was something magical about her. she had a kind soul. doesn't matter if you were 20 years old or or younger than her, she was looking after you. >> they have been following the case and join us from johansburg and join the the investigator off the case and said the evidence lined up with the version of events. his credibility is on the line. now what? >> i think what the south african has done is removed him from the case. as you say, yesterday they represented quite a week and arguments have been happy with
3:30 pm
them. they contradicted what they were saying today. of course we hear that he has been charged with trying to murder some people and shooting at them. what this means now is after a week, the south african government puts their best team. the most senior detective is leading the case. why wasn't this done too? >> then reports that pistorius has been sleeping on the floor of his cell because there no beds. what do they know about the conditions he is subjected to? >> we know he has been held in a police cell. he is not in the main jail. that will come if he doesn't get bail. he was in a cell and we are unaware of having to share it, but this is a violent society and criminals are getting processed.
3:31 pm
there times when he might be sharing with other people. there times that he is not cleeping on a bed and he has a mattress. he was not sleeping well. understandably. he has been given some assistance. he was far more switched off in a way and talks about it. we will talk about how he is physically distraught. today he sat rock still. i was in the court and he payroll moved. he does look like. >> instead that happens more than you think apparently.
3:32 pm
check out the figure and the samples from hundreds of stores and eateries in all two dozen. this is quite startling. having this discovery is very startling. they went to about 14 cities and tested seafood from sushi bars and restaurants. we sent it off to have it analyzed to identify the identity of the fish and of the 1200 samples, about 1/3 were mislabeled. it's shocking. >> intentionally mislabeled? >> that's what we guessed. a lot of times it was legszer expensive and less desirable
3:33 pm
fish swapped out with something more popular. >> one of the most commonly mislabeled fish? >> we found snapper is the most commonly mislabeled. in fact we bought 120 fish labeled red snapper. of that 120, only 7 fish across the country was actually a red snapper. >> as a consumer, is it that very few of us can draw a distinction between the taste of these different fish and so restaurants or -- is it restaurants or distributors? who is to blame for mislabeling being deceitful to consumers? >> the seafood supply chain, we don't track and it's hard to where it occurred. we do know it happened. it's happening somewhere. whether it's from the boat to your plate. we think that these happened to trace the fish from boat to
3:34 pm
plate. the end consumer can find out more. >> what can we do as a consumer and someone who purchases the fish whether it be at the fish market or the grocery store or the restaurant? how do you sdwhearn you order is what you are going to get. >> ask restaurants more about the fish. also buy the whole fish. the more hands that pass through, the more opportunities for fraud. next, if the price is too good to be true t probably is. there programs that sell traceable seafood. look out as it tells you more about the story of the fish you are purchasing. >> thanks. >> thank you. >> lady go-go. she had to can teleher shows due it a problem with her hip.

>> apple sold more than 300 million iphone since they produced them back in 2007. this may be less familiar. even so, google's android system has been crushing the iphone. 160 million of them last quarter. apple just shipped 48 million. phones that operate on the operating system. google is winning the war as well. in the last year, the stock price is up around 30%. that's the bring on. apple is down more than 10%. we want to bring in my good friend for a little q&a.
3:39 pm
as broadly as you like, google or apple. give me 60 seconds on the clock. apple is bumping into unrealistic expectations that couldn't continue forever. they are showing us the next big thing before we even knew we wanted it and making buckets of money on it. it's ancient history, but in the 90s, you will remember. i wasn't born yet. they left apple for sdd. the company brought us all sorts of things we didn't know we needed. the ipod and itunes. history shows that all of it will probably take -- it will gain speed and come up with one new product. it's the apple wrist watch that will turn the doubters into believers. apple is reaching out to budget consumers with products like the
3:40 pm
ipad mini. that sets it up for growth in places like china. meanwhile google is following apple in the innovation department. you tube and the money all comes from ads. i'm not sure how sustainable that is, richard. >> it's the entire objective that was to list the products, we are all much better informed. we are here to talk about the share price. you have to remember a share price is the reflection of the company not only the earnings, but investor beliefs for future growth. here it's all on the downside for apple. apple has a stench about it. nobody can say what or why, but there is a feeling that there is something nasty at the back of the fridge that needs to be emptied out.
3:41 pm
google on the other hand that doesn't have the same fierce competition that says apple has from android, they have competitors, but it's the industry standard. it still has many core markets that it is holding on to tighter than apple in its own domain. the share price i repeat is a reflection of earnings and investor sentiment. if you look at that share price, it's not surprising that they are going in opposite directions. >> $800 a share for the first time. and analysts suggested it could hit 1,000. remember markets are not like a swiss lock. they overshoot one way and then the other. so look for speculation and bubbles. >> you should look and that advice spreads to the broader market as well.
3:42 pm
always a pleasure to see you. my belt is write nice, isn't it? >> from the cnn studio in new york, that's it for me. same time tomorrow. n my next move, i take scottrade's free, in-branch seminars... plustheir live webinars. i use daily market commentary to improve my strategy. and my local scottrade office guides my learning every step of the way. because they know i don't trade like everybody. i trade like me. i'm with scottrade.

2004. >> i had some stuff work and some didn't. they became overhex posed and causing me to do this industry. >> what you did was become a director starting with "gone baby gone" followed by one of the best films of 2010. the coproducer credits the move from behind the camera. har are he was in actionor jail for a couple of years. we have all done it. >> that brings us to argo. highly regarded as ben's best project. it has been a box office success and was an early contender into awards season. then last month came the snub heard around hollywood when affleck was not nominated by best director. despite argo getting the best picture nod. that has not hurt him. quite the opposite actually.

the goeld lden glebs. the best picture. whether he will once again be the toast of the oscars remains to be seen, but according to matt damon, a lot has changed. >> when they first saw you, you were these kids about town in hollywood. >> they feel that yesterday we are both married and have these beautiful children and lived a lot of life. >> ben affleck sunday night. how argo is at the oscars. big bird is back in a big way. he is 6 feet tall and covers and teaming up with the first lady to launch a new edition. we will tell you what michelle obama and big bird are looking at next.
